Continuity mistake: When Mark loses feeling in his legs, the same blond nurse that is already in his room is seen in the next shot where House and Stacy are rushing off the elevator.
Continuity mistake: When the young swimmer is about to dive, you get a close-up of both her heels going over the edge. Then, it shows a further shot with only one heel over the edge. Later in the same scene, the girl is underwater and you see her hair flowing around her face. When she lifts her head out of the water, her hair is tied up.
Continuity mistake: Right after House has given the speech he and Wilson step outside and House removes his tie. After this his shirt collar changes between almost every shot, from being tucked in his jacket to being on the outside of it.
Continuity mistake: About 5 minutes in, when Foreman struggles with opening the coffee package, House rips the entire top of the package off with his teeth. In the following shots, you can see that the coffee package merely has a corner ripped off.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where House is in Wilson's Office and House needs advice about what to tell the rape victim, when the shots change between lines, the direction of the cane's handle changes with the shots.
Continuity mistake: Max's mom, without her glasses, runs out to call the nurse after Max starts seizing. Her glasses appear when she re-enters the room. (00:28:20)
Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the episode, when Cuddy presents the case to House, she has her cell phone in her left hand when handing him the file. She doesn't have it in her hand when she slides the file closer to him. When the camera faces her, you can see her arms are bent up while talking to him, and see the phone. When the camera is facing House, Cuddy's arms are hanging down by her sides, no phone. (00:03:05)
Continuity mistake: At the start, Cuddy's arms are constantly changing position depending on the camera shot. (00:01:00)
Continuity mistake: House sits down and helps himself to Wilson's lunch. He pulls a fork out of his pocket. In the next shot, he's still fiddling with his jacket pocket, next shot, he's got the fork there again. (00:11:35)
Continuity mistake: When House trips before entering his office, Taub is holding the patient's x-ray film. It is either over the folder or under it in different shots. (00:11:05)
Continuity mistake: Becca, the pregnant woman, says that Cuddy must be mad at her for having been a drug addict and possibly causing her baby's lungs to be underdeveloped. While she's talking, her right hand is rubbing her belly. In the close up, the hem of her hospital gown just barely reaches the middle of her tummy. In the immediate next shot, it is much further to the right side. (00:21:20)
Not Cancer - S5-E2
Continuity mistake: The boxer falls backwards and is bleeding from his right ear. In the next shot, the blood trail is gone. (00:01:35)
Role Model - S1-E17
Continuity mistake: When House and Cameron are in the lab some of her hair is hanging over her shoulder. In some shots it is closer to her arm whereas in others it's closer to the middle of her chest.
Continuity mistake: Ian (the patient) moves his hand while he is in cardiac arrest, then almost immediately, Chase checks Ian's pulse and the sleeve of his shirt changes position. (00:31:10)
Continuity mistake: Throughout both parts of season 4's finale ("House's Head" and "Wilson's Heart"), Amber is always shown getting hit from the back and sitting facing House, so her seat's back is to the windows. Yet the last time we see the accident, that is, right after she took the flu pills, she is definitely sitting neatly sideways to the window (i.e. the seat is perpendicular to it) and getting hit from the right side. It most likely was done for artistic reasons, as the back shot, shown multiple times, makes for a very neat effect, with her blonde hair flowing around her like sunrays.
Fidelity (aka: Truth or Consequences) - S1-E7
Continuity mistake: Elise, the patient, goes into a coma. The various tubes connected to her are on the left side of her head in shots from the side and are underneath her chin in other shots. (00:28:20)
Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode, when 13's date falls off the bed, she knocks the bedside lamp onto the floor. As 13 runs to the bedroom, the lamp is laid on its side on the bedside cabinet. As 13 bends down to attend to her date, the lamp is back on the floor. (00:01:05)
Dying Changes Everything - S5-E1
Continuity mistake: Right at the end, when House is apologizing to Wilson, watch the bright spot on the TV frame on the wall behind House. In the long shots, the spot is right at the top left corner of the TV. In the close-up shots, the spot is closer to the middle. This is visible every time the shot changes from long to close-up. Light spots do not move depending on the position if the viewer. The only way a light spot changes is if the light source changes position or the reflecting surface changes position (try reflecting a flashlight beam off a mirror and then, leaving the flashlight and the mirror alone, move around. The reflected spot of light will not change position).
Emancipation - S5-E8
Continuity mistake: At the very beginning, House walks in and puts his cane on the table on top of Thirteen's papers. She picks it up and moves it away, placing the bottom end on a stack of books. Cut to House and the cane is now flat on the table. (00:02:55)
Answer: You have the right episode. The big deal at the end about the letters on the pills was to show that Brandon had the wrong pills all along. House was smiling because he was right.
